21．（6分） If humans pump enough carbon dioxide (CO2 into the atmosphere, the stratocumulus clouds(层积云 could disappear, and the earth's temperature could climb sharply to heights not predicted in current climate models. It would burn the planet. That's the conclusion of a paper published in the journal Nature Geoscience and described in detail by Natalie Wolchover for Quanta Magazine. As Wolchover explained, clouds have long been one of the great uncertainties of climate models. Computer models that easily capture the complexity and detail of most climate systems just aren't powerful enough to predict worldwide changes in cloud behavior. But clouds are important. They reflect sunlight away from the earth's surface. And stratocumulus clouds are those white blankets you might have seen as you looked out the window of arm airplane, rolling out below you and hiding the ground Researchers suspect that certain sudden, past jumps in temperature may have been caused by changes to clouds like these. For the new research, scientists modeled just a small patch of sky using a supercomputer. They found that if carbon dioxide levels reach about 1, 200 parts per million(ppm in the atmosphere, stratocumulus clouds break up. That's a very high carbon dioxide concentration. Right now, levels have climbed past 410 ppm--a dangerous change from 280 ppm before the Industrial Revolution. But humans put more and more CO2 into the atmosphere every year. If current trends continue, the earth could reach 1, 200 ppm within 100 to 150 years. This could happen if our society doesn't follow through on any of its commitments to reduce emissions(排放, Wolchover reported. And even if it does, the result would be another 8 degrees Celsius of heat added to the global average, on top of the dangerous changes already underway due to greenhouse gases. That’s an enormous change, and it goes beyond predictions of worldwide ice melt and catastrophic sea level rise. And, once the stratocumulus clouds are gone, Wolchover reported, they likely wouldn't reappear until atmospheric carbon dioxide levels dropped below where they are currently. There's still some uncertainty in the data. The 1, 200 ppm figure could change as scientists look into the issue further. 1、What can we learn from paragraph 2? A．Most climate systems are not complex. B．Cloud behavior is uncertain and hard to predict. C．Temperature changes affect the stratocumulus clouds.
D．The stratocumulus clouds protect planes from sunlight. 2、How did the scientists study clouds in the new research? A．By measuring the sea level. B．By experimenting in a natural state. C．By comparing climate models. D．By computer modeling and analyzing. 3、What does "it" refer to in paragraph 4? A．The atmosphere. B．The earth. C．Our society. D．The result. 4、Which of the following statements would Wolchover most probably agree with? A．The effects of CO2 emissions have been fully assessed. B．The stratocumulus clouds won't return if they are gone. C．The breakup of stratocumulus clouds could result in catastrophes. D．Once CO2 level reaches 1, 200 ppm, stratocumulus clouds will go extinct. 22．（8分）We can achieve knowledge either actively or passively. We achieve it actively by direct experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning. We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive. Conditioned as we are to passive learning, it’s not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday communication with friends and co-workers. Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem. It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little more than hearsay(传闻 and rumor. Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn’t show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That person, in turn, whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written statements are compared. Typically, the original message has changed. That’s what happens in daily life. The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story. Then, too, most people listen imperfectly. And many enjoy adding their own creative touch to a story, trying to improve on it, stamping it with their own personal style. Yet those who hear it think they know.
This process is also found among scholars and authors: A statement of opinion by one writer may be restated as fact by another, who may in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process may continue, unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts. 1、According to the passage, active learning may occur in ________. A．reading scientific journals B．listening to the teacher in class C．doing a chemical experiment D．watching news programmes on TV 2、What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Classroom. B．Newspapers. C．Active learning. D．Passive learning. 3、The game Rumor is mentioned in Paragraph 4 in order to tell readers that ________. A．playing games can make people more active B．people tend to like telling lies when playing games C．a message may be changed when being passed on D．people may have problems with their sense of hearing 4、What can be inferred from the text? A．Scholars and authors can’t be trusted. B．Passive learning may not be reliable. C．People like spreading rumors in daily life. D．Active learning is more Important than passive learning. When an ice cube melts, it creates a puddle (水坑. When an ice sheet (冰盖melts, it raises sea levels. It sounds 23．（8分）simple, but scientists have debated for decades whether both the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets actually were shrinking, and how much that melting contributed to rising sea levels. Now, a new study has provided the best evidence of how the polar ice sheets are responding to our warming world. In the study, an international team of scientists looked at 20 years of' data in the ice sheets collected by 10 satellite missions. The team's conclusion: The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets both are losing ice overall. The researchers also found that between 1992 and 2011, melt water from those shrinking ice sheets caused sea levels to rise by about 11 millimeters. Over the 19 years studied, the Greenland ice sheet lost 2.7 trillion metric tons of ice. The Antarctic ice sheet also shrank by about l.3 trillion metric tons. Previously, some scientists disagreed whether the Antarctic sheet, the largest
mass of ice in the world, was shrinking or growing or neither. While the Earth is warming overall, the effect of climate change varies from region to region. Over the last 15 years, for example, scientists have something disagreed over how climate change has affected the polar ice sheets. Many studies found that the sheets lost a lot of ice and that not enough snow fell on the sheets to compensate for the loss. But other studies found that the loss of ice was balanced by the gain in snowfall. Richard Alley, a glacier scientist at Penn State University, said that many of those studies looked at different areas, and over different time periods. In addition, the studies didn't all use the satellite data in the same way. Those differences made, it difficult to compare the results. The data in the new study matched time periods and areas. The study also combined measurements from kinds of satellites. 1、Why does the author use a common-sense phenomenon as the beginning? A．To present the reason for ice sheet melting. B．To show us the result of a scientific experiment. C．To give a simple example to introduce the topic. D．To present a common daily finding obvious to the readers. 2、The researchers reached their conclusion by_____. A．analyzing the findings of former studies B．observing the Antarctic and Greenland C．referring to the data from satellites D．making measurements in the Antarctic and Greenland 3、What does the underlined phrase "compensate for" in paragraph 4 refer to? A．Cut down. B．Lead to． C．Bring about. D．Make up for. 4、Which of the following might be the best conclusion for the passage? A．Ice sheets are shrinking due to global warming. B．People are suffering from climate change. C．Rising sea levels makes people live in danger. D．Shrinking ice has nothing to do with sea levels. 24．（8分）As the morning school bell rings and students rush in, teenagers in one classroom settle onto mats and
meditation（冥想）pillows. They fall silent after the teacher taps a “singing bow”.
These students are in a for-credit, year-long mindfulness class, which is meant to ease youth anxiety and depression and to prevent violence. For 90 minutes, three days a week, they practice a mix of yoga, sitting, and walking meditation, deep breathing, journaling, and non-judgmental listening. Yoga and meditation have gained popularity among Americans in recent decades，supported by studies showing benefits to emotional, mental, and physical health. The centuries-old practices have roots in eastern religions, but Western culture has long focused on physical postures, breathing, and relaxation techniques. Some people have greeted the move with less than enthusiasm. Last year, an elementary school in Ohio ended its mindfulness program after parents complained it was too closely linked to religion. But many school districts are reporting success. In Richmond, California, schools have reported drops in school problems among low-income, at-risk youths. The school district in South Burlington, Vermont, introduced a successful mindfulness course as part of a health and wellness program, and now administrators there have advocated mindfulness into K-12 curriculums. Two years ago, Caverly Morgan developed the after-school mindfulness program teamed up with Allyson Copacino，who teaches yoga. After hundreds of students signed up, Principal Brian Chatard took note. The school was dealing with a student’s suicide, and few resources were available to address students’ emotional and mental health.
“High school is the hardest period of time for kids,” Mr. Chatard said. “You’ve got emotional changes, physical changes, and all the social pressures. It’s also the onset of mental illness for some kids, depression hits, and there’s the pressure of college and sports. All these things kids do is over¬whelming without having a strategy (策略）to deal with it.” And now schools all over the country are introducing the practices. 1、What do Western people value more about yoga and meditation? A．Non-judgmental listening. B．Religious meaning. C．Journaling. D．Physical benefits. 2、What can we infer about the mindfulness class? A．It is supported by parents. B．It relives pressure of students. C．It mainly builds students up physically. D．It improves students’ academic performance. 3、Who started the mindfulness class? A．Administrators.
B．Brian Chatard. C．Caverly Morgan. D．Allyson Copacino. 4、What is Mr. Chatard’s attitude towards the program? A．Supportive. B．Concerned. C．Doubtful. D．Reserved.

Welcome to drama class, one of my favorite classes at high school. In drama class we used to play a lot of“ drama games. We would improvise(即兴表演, mime(模仿 and above all use our imaginations. My favorite game was called "Spotto". One person stood at the front of the class and performed a scene, completely out of their imagination. When one audience member yelled "Spotto!", the performer had to freeze. Then the person who had yelled Spotto had to get up and improvise a new scenario (剧情based on the position the first performer froze in. This went on as more and more people were added to the scene. Eventually the entire class would have joined the scene. Then the performers would start to leave in reverse(颠倒的order. The first performer had to have a good memory to remember all the other scenes. It was a lot of fun, and a good test of everyone's imagination to see what they would come up with. Drama class at my school often involved a big performance at the end of the semester as well. We would work on a production throughout the semester and put on a show for our parents and the school community. It was a great experience to perform on stage in front of a large audience. Drama class can help shy children to come out of their shells. It helped me become more confident and developed my public speaking skills. Drama class is also a great place to express yourself, and a way for children to use up some of their energy. 1、Which of the following statements is TRUE about the game "Spotto" as described in the article? A．"Spotto" is designed to help drama students lean from one another’s performance.
B．A performer has to think of a story completely unrelated to that of the performer before him or her. C．Each performer in a "Spotto" game has to retell the story of the performer directly after him or her. D．Every student gets the chance to make a contribution to the "Spotto" game. 2、The underlined word "freeze" in Paragraph 3 probably means_______. A．stop B．quit
C．change D．wait 3、We can infer from the article that the author______. A．Doesn't like to sit quietly in class B．never performed well in the drama games C．used to be quite a shy student D．used to shine in performances 4、What is the article mainly about? A．Unforgettable experiences on stage. B．One of the author's favorite high school courses. C．How to improve your drama skills. D．A few drama games for fun. 【答案】1、D 2、A 3、C 4、B 23．（8分）Patients in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease often struggle to remember recently learned information, meaning they forget things like important appointments or where they left their keys. But it seems that these memories are not lost. They are still filed away in the brain somewhere; they just can’t be easily accessed.
Now, researchers at MIT have developed a means of getting back memories in mice suffering from Alzheimer’s. The method relies on a technique that uses light to control genetically modified neurons (转基因神经元. Currently it is too early to be used in human trials as it involves inserting light emitting (发光 equipment into the subjects’ brains, but the same principles still apply, the researchers said.
“The important point is that this is evidence of concept. That is, even if a memory seems to be gone, it is still there. It’s a matter of how to get it back,” said senior researcher Susumu Tonegawa.
The team took two groups of mice, one genetically engineered to develop Alzheimer’s and one healthy. They then placed them into a room and gave them a mild electric shock. All of the mice showed fear when put back in an hour later. When placed in the room a third time several days later, the Alzheimer’s mice acted normally. They had forgotten the shock.
The researchers were then able to bring back the memory of the shock by activating (激活 the cells in which the memories were stored. Even when the mice were put into an unfamiliar room, they showed fear when the cells
associated with the shock were activated.
“Short-term memory seems to be normal, on the order of hours. But for long-term memory, these early-Alzheimer’s mice seem to be damaged,” said lead researcher Dheeraj Roy. “Directly activating the cells that we believe are holding the memory helps them get it back. This suggests that it is indeed an access problem to the information, not that they’re unable to learn or store this memory.” 1、What can we learn about the researchers at MIT? A．They are the pioneers of brain research. B．They have used the method in human trials. C．They can cure Alzheimer’s using the new method. D．They can get back memories in mice with Alzheimer’s. 2、Why did the Alzheimer’s mice behave normally a third time? A．They failed to remember the electric shock. B．They were accustomed to the situation. C．They managed to overcome the fear. D．They activated the association. 3、For long-term memory, the early Alzheimer’s mice _______. A．can activate their blood cells B．can’t learn new tricks well C．can easily get back their memory D．can’t access the information stored 4、The main purpose of the text is to _______. A．introduce a method of a research B．report the latest discovery about a disease C．give advice on how to improve memory D．explain how our brain stores information 【答案】1、D 2、A 3、D 4、B 24．（8分） Many youths want to lean how to drive cars. This year one sixth of undergraduates in Beijing have registered at driving school. The students, mostly from majors such as business management or imitational trade, will
finish their driving courses within 20 days or so. Training costs have dropped to 4, 500 yuan for students, according to the Haidian Driving School in Beijing. The price is not really low, but students will accept it, seeing it as an investment (投资 in their future. Familiarity with the operation of computers and fluent English are the basic skills graduating students need to find a job. But a driver s permit has become another factor (因素. “In the job market, owning a driver’s permit sometimes strengthens a graduating student’s competitiveness for a good position,” says Li Hua, an undergraduate at the China University of Political Science and law.
Cars will become a necessary part of many people’s lives in the coming years, and it is difficult to get a permit out of campus because of the pressures on working people’s time. “Having a full-time job after graduation offers limited time to learn to drive. We senior students have plenty of spare time, plenty of oppurtunity to learn,” says another undergraduate at the university. Wu Dong, an official at the driving school, said undergraduates were very able and serious, and could grasp in an hour what ordinary people took four hours to learn. In this driving school, middle-aged people, young women and college students are the main customers. From March 1, 2018, to get a driver’s permit, a beginner is now required to have at least 86 hours’ practice before the final road test. 1、Why do the undergraduates learn to drive? A．They are the students from special subject or course. B．They like to drive cars very much. C．They want y become full time drivers after graduation. D．They need this skill to find a good job in the future. 2、What is Wu Dong’s opinion of students learning to drive? A．It would make the life more interesting. B．Youths would have an advantage in learning to drive. C．It is a waste of money and time to learn to drive. D．It would be better to learn it at college than at work. 3、To get the permit, the student ________. A．requires some time to practice before the final road test B．must pay more money before the final road test C．must practice more to learn to drive when having a job D．requires to learn some more other subjects to drive
【答案】1、D 2、B 3、A 25．（10分）E Science has a lot of uses. It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that there’s always a temptation(诱惑 to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character,and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation. Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has science revealed about human nature? What are the sources of character? And why are some people happy and successful while others aren’t?
To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines（学科）. Considering this, you might expect the book to be a dry recitation of facts. But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox(非常规的, and perhaps unfortunate, way. Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the reader’s attention.So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters. On the whole,Brooks’ story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks’ attempt to translate his tale into science. 1、The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passage to__________. A．illustrate where science can be applied B．demonstrate the value of Brooks’ new book C．remind the reader of the importance of science D．explain why many writers use science in their works 2、According to the author, which of the following could be a strength of the book? A．Its strong basis. B．Its convincing points. C．Its clear writing.
D．Its memorable characters. 3、What is the author’s general attitude towards the book? A．Contradictory. B．Supportive. C．Cautious. D．Critical. 4、What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph? A．Problems with the book. B．Brooks’s life experience. C．Death of the characters. D．Brooks’s translation skills. 【答案】1、D 2、C 3、D 4、A 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．

22．（8分） One of the statements that many experts seem to agree on is the fact that the great things starts to happen the minute you step outside of your comfort zones. As soon as you decide that you are willing to go beyond what is safe, the possibilities are endless. For me, one of the most important things that we should always keep in mind is the fact that growth and comfort can’t coexist.
Personal development author Napoleon Hill once said: “Whatever the mind can understand and believe, the mind can achieve. Regardless of how many times you may have failed in the past or how lofty(崇高的 your aims and hopes may be.” This statement is especially powerful because it reminds us that we are the only ones who can be responsible for how far we will go. However, stepping outside of our comfort zone is probably the most important step to experiencing real change. For a long time, I knew that I wanted to live in Argentina, so halfway through my bachelor’s degree, I bought a one-way ticket there. While in Argentina, I finished the last two years of my degree online before flying back home for graduation. I currently still live in Argentina, and I can proudly say that taking the necessary steps to make it a reality was one of the most important things I could have done. This, of course, by no means at all applies to everyone, and I’m not implying we should all buy one-way tickets to foreign countries and see what happens. But it’s important to know that we should recognize what we desire and try to
bring our dreams to life. Living in a comfort zone can trick us into believing that we have an abundant amount of time when, in reality, we all know that years can fly by without us having accomplished much of what we really wanted to do. So why wait? I’m thankful that I didn’t put off my move until a later date because I would have missed out on a lot of amazing life experiences that have shaped me as a person. If we want to experience even a small amount of change, we will have to step outside of it. 1、Why do people prefer staying in comfort zone? A．It makes people feel safe. B．It leads to great things. C．It is important for growth. D．It helps make wise decisions. 2、What does Napoleon Hill’s statement mean? A．Time and tide wait for no man. B．The higher you fly, the harder you fail. C．Failure is the mother of success. D．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. 3、Which matters most to the author in his/her story? A．Moving to Argentina. B．Getting the bachelor’s degree. C．Studying online. D．Flying back for graduation. 4、The author used his/her story to ________. A．persuade others to follow his/her example B．encourage others to take immediate action C．inform people of different foreign culture D．remind people to be thankful in life 5、Which one could be the best title? A．Identify your comfort zone. B．Value your precious time. C．Always try something new. D．Make the best decisions.
【答案】1、A 2、D 3、A 4、B 5、C 23．（8分）It is one of the oldest magic tricks in the book—a magician locks a woman in a box, with her head and feet sticking out from either end, and saws (锯 it in half. But when she finally jumps out of the box, the woman is unharmed. This trick was introduced nearly a century ago. It has been around for some time, but it never goes wrong. Why is it so successful? The answer is simple: the human mind is easily fooled. Our brain processes the world around us based on information that sensory organs, including the eyes, pick up. For instance, when we see a cow or a horse standing behind a tree, we automatically “fill in” the part of the animal’s body that is hidden from our sight. “So the brain is taking this kind of very sparse (匮乏的 information about the world and it’s generating this rich world by filling in information,” Stephen Macknik, a scientist at the Barrow Neurological Institute in Arizona, US, told Science magazine. But since our brains are filling in the gaps, sometimes they get it wrong. They tend to be driven by our previous experiences and we expect things to go as they have in the past even if sometimes they do not. This tendency explains magicians’ success in fooling people with well-known coin tricks. For example, when you see a magician throw a coin up and down in one hand and then fake a coin thrown to the other hand, you would naturally believe that the coin is in the other hand. Apart from the information gaps, magicians also use the “blind spots” theory when doing their shows. The most well-known experiment demonstrating this theory is called the “invisible gorilla (大猩猩”, in which volunteers watch a video of two basketball teams. They are asked to count how many times the teams wearing white shirts pass the ball. In the meantime, a person dressed as a gorilla walks onto the court. But shockingly, half of the viewers don’t notice the gorilla, even when they appear to be looking directly at it.
Magicians employ this tactic (招数, what they call “misdirection”, in almost every one of their acts. They direct our attention somewhere else using comedy and music, which can make us miss stuff during the performance. 1、The magic trick is mentioned in the first paragraph to ________. A．introduce the steps of the magic trick B．prove magic tricks seldom go wrong C．reveal how magic tricks are designed
D．get us to wonder how magicians trick the mind 2、We can conclude from the passage that the human mind is easily fooled because our brain ________. A．may have difficulty remembering what we just saw B．fills in information about the magic world C．is influenced by our previous experiences D．processes far more information than our sensory organs pick up 3、What does the underlined word “invisible” in paragraph 7 refer to? A．Unnoticed. B．Unimportant. C．Unpleasant. D．Unprepared. 4、During the “invisible gorilla” experiment, people watching the video ignore the “gorilla” because ________. A．they don’t look directly at it B．they are not interested in it C．they are too focused on counting D．they consider it to be a distraction 5、Why do magicians usually use comedy and music when they play magic tricks?

A week later, she ran into a different Santa in a mall. He stopped to ask what she wanted for Christmas. Kylie was surprised and let him know: “If you can’t remember what I told you last week, how are you going to remember on Christmas Eve?!”

Mary Paul, Milwaukee, Wisconsin As my son Mike and I drove to the mall, we passed a Salvation Army Santa ringing his bell. “Mike,” I said, “there’s Santa!” He shook his head. “That’s just some guy in a Santa suit,” he said. It saddened me to think that maybe my son no longer believed in Santa, and we drove the rest of the way in silence. At the mall, we spotted another Santa greeting young believers. Suddenly, Mike took off toward him. Turning back to me, he shouted. “Now, there’s the real Santa!”

Grandma opened it, and there stood a big fellow in red with a snow-white beard, laughing, “Ho, ho, ho!” He handed out presents and made us laugh. I had so much fun.

It may also express ideas about historical events, abstract concepts, or simply be about the way certain shapes or forms “work” together or create a certain effect on the mind. Some researchers believe that different parts of the brain respond in unique ways to colors and shapes. Pictograms (象形文字 and ideograms (表意文字 are types of visual language. Pictograms are pictures that are similar to what they represent. They are still used today to communicate information. Many people around the world are familiar with the pictograms indicating such things as airports, public facilities, and non-smoking areas indicated by a cigarette in a circle with a line across it. Ideograms are pictures that represent ideas and can often be understood without the aid of written language. Some scholars track modern alphabets to pictures Letters are actually ancient pictures, and words are a series of pictures. Modern alphabet letters are not only phonetic (语音的 symbols but are based on ancient religious images and symbols. Musivisual communication is also a part of visual language. The term refers to music created specifically to improve the visual experience of film.

Sales of organic wine are booming in the UK. According to the organic food and farming group Soil Association, sales of organic beers, wines and spirits rose by 14.3% last year to reach nearly £6 million, driven by the demand from consumers who are increasingly seeking “natural” food.
“It seems that people are rediscovering their link with the environment through organic food. Organic wines also taste better, perhaps due to less use of man-made chemicals.” said Finn Cottle of Soil Association. As well as the benefits of producing grapes without using pesticides, organic wine also contains less sulphur dioxide (二氧化硫, which can contribute towards hangovers. Supermarkets are increasing supplies on their shelves to meet consumer demand, while the switch to online shopping has also helped, as people are more easily able to find what they are looking for. Vintage Roots is now one of the UK’s biggest online shops of organic wine, while Ocado provides more than 100 different organic wines and Daylesford, best-known for its organic vegetable boxes, has branched out into organic wine and spirits. The discount supermarket Aldi is set to start its first collection of so-called “green” wines this week, offering eight wines with organic certificates. Aldi expects the wines to appeal to the young shoppers who are increasingly concerned about the environmental influence of the produce that they are buying and consuming. English organic wine producer Oxney Estate’s Noir Rosé recently won the Waitrose prize for the most outstanding rosé wine at the competition. A spokeswoman for Waitrose said: “Organic wine is a growing trend globally and we have seen sales increase by 16% in the last year”.
1、Sales of organic wine are increasing probably because ________. A．consumers are now more environmentally aware B．it offers a very different taste from traditional wine C．consumers are tired of hangovers after drinking D．it contains no sulphur dioxide or pesticide 2、What’s the main idea of paragraph 4?
A．UK supermarkets welcome organic wine and spirits.

D．Supermarkets should go online to sell more wine. 3、“Waitrose” in the last paragraph is probably ________.

A．persuade readers to go green while drinking B．compare organic wine and traditional wine C．share with readers wines without hangovers D．introduce a new consuming trend in the UK 23．（8分）Joanna Cole, born on August 11, 1944 in Newark, New Jersey, has been credited to be one of the most popular children’s authors of all time. She has written over 250 books and is famous for writing one of the most popular children's book series. She knew as early as 5th grade that she was interested in writing and science. Cole has owed a large part of her passion to one of her elementary school teachers. Joanna Cole continued her education by attending the University of Massachusetts and Indiana. She would eventually earn a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the City College of New York in 1967; after graduation Cole decided to take some education courses to become a librarian at a Brooklyn elementary school in 1967. Eventually, she would take jobs working for Newsweek, Seesaw book club. Cole’s passion for writing and science was still alive and well during this time. In 197l she decided to write her first book, Cockroaches. She did some research and discovered there had never been a book written for children about cockroaches. So she thought she would be the first. Cole struck gold when she wrote the first Magic School Bus in 1985. The book would go on to be published the following year and quickly became book series and cartoon series due to its success. Cole continued to write both non-fiction and fiction books for children. She writes in a way that will hopefully inspire children to think like a scientist. She does this by writing ideas instead of just facts. She also tries to ask questions in her books that require children to think and discover the answers as they read. This creates an engaging experience for children, so it is no wonder why younger readers are hooked on her books. 1、When Joanna Cole was young, she ________. A．was very popular with children B．got inspired by one of her teachers
C．began her career of writing novels D．knew what she would do in the future 2、What does the underlined phrase probably mean? A．Made a fortune. B．Made a promise. C．Got ideas.

There was the famous London Bridge and St. Paul’s Cathedral, and palaces and markets and long streets full of shops. Then, too, there were the daily crowds where could be seen people from all over the world. Knights, scholars and the highwayman (拦路强盗）or thieves, who had been infamous for their clever robberies, passed by each other. Here, also, were noblemen dressed in gold, from Italy and Spain and France; slaves from Spanish America, sea captains and ministers, soldiers and servants—all held by chances or interests within the gray walls which circled London, and whose gates gave welcome to as strange a crowd as could be found in the world. Into this curious crowd came Shakespeare, quick to see and eager to learn. And before long all these strange sights were as familiar to him as the faces of his own town’s residents. Each one told its story to him so plainly that, as before he had learned the secrets of the fields and woods, so now he learned men and men’s interests that make up the great world. And he learned these lessons so well that when he came to write his plays, he made such use of them as no writer ever made before or since; for it is the use of this knowledge of the world, combined with his own genius, that makes Shakespeare the greatest dramatist that has ever lived. 1、What was London like in Shakespeare’s eyes when he first went there? A．Dirty and small. C．Infamous and terrible. B．Strange and interesting. D．Familiar and modern.
2、Which of the following best describes Shakespeare? A．Shakespeare got inspiration to write from his hometown, London. B．Shakespeare was eager to make friends with the noblemen in London. C．Shakespeare was good at observing and learning from the daily life. D．Shakespeare became the greatest dramatist owing to his own genius. 3、What does the word “one” in paragraph 5 refer to? A．Crowd. C．Face. 4、The passage probably comes from______. A．a poster C．an advertisement B．a textbook D．an announcement B．Resident. D．Sight. 25．（10分） A good book is indeed the best friend of a person. The same goes for high-profile CEOs of world recognized companies as well. Let’s have a look at the favorite books of some of the world-famous CEOs. Apple CEO—Tim Cook, Competing against Time by George Stalk Jr. and Thomas M. Hout This book is based on 10 years of valuable research done by the authors. It talks about how new concepts of managing time in new product development, production and sales provide companies with the advantages to succeed in this highly competitive world. Microsoft CEO(Former—Bill Gates, The Catcher in the Rye by J.D．Salinger A few themes explored in the novel are rebellion, anxiety and confusion. It tells that young people are a little （叛逆）confused, but can be smart about things and see things that adults don’t really see. Gates said, “ I didn’t actually read The Catcher in the Rye until I was 13, and ever since then I’ve said that's my favorite book.” Oracle CEO—Larry Ellison, Napoleon by Vincent Cronin This book is considered by far the best biography ever written on Napoleon Bonaparte. Ellison said, "It's interesting to read about him for a couple of reasons: to see what an ordinary man can do with his life and to see how history can distort（歪曲）the truth entirely." OWE CEO— Oprah Winfrey, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee This book talks about how a little girl observes the people around her. Winfrey said, “ I read it in eighth or ninth grade, and I was trying to recommend the book to other kids. So it makes sense to me that now I have a book club, because I have been doing that probably since I read this book.” 1、What is the theme of Competing Against Time? A．How to increase production. B．How to improve efficiency.
C．How to enrich experience. D．How to save energy. 2、Which book may be chosen by parents to learn about rebellious kids? A．Competing against Time. C．Napoleon.
